Controllable Steering Torque Generation Via Flapping Motion by a Cross-Coupled Two-Degree-Of-Freedom Drive System

We present a novel flapping‑wing mechanism capable of generating steering torque through a two‑degree‑of‑freedom (2‑DoF) coordinated actuation. Whereas most existing flapping‑flight systems produce steering torque by incorporating additional mechanisms that asynchronously alter passive deformation l…
